Fitting – fitting or presentation

Fitting is an essential part of the preparation for fashion shows, photo shoots and commercials. It ensures that the garments fit perfectly and create the desired look to realize the vision of the designers and clients. The exact measurements and efficiency of the fitting are crucial to ensure a successful presentation.

When clients or fashion designers book models for fashion shows, photo shoots or commercials, especially for larger productions or more elaborate shows, models are invited to a fitting in advance. The purpose of this process is to ensure that the clothes and accessories fit perfectly and create the desired look envisioned by the advertising agency ‘s or fashion designer’s creative team.

The importance of the fitting

Fitting is crucial as it ensures that the garments to be presented at a fashion show or photo shoot are perfectly tailored to the model in question. This helps to ensure that the collections are presented in their best form and finish.

What happens during the fitting?

During the fitting, the garments and accessories previously selected or purchased by stylists are worn and adjusted. As a model, you are often present directly with the designer in the showroom or already at the production or shooting location. This enables the designers and customers to assess the fit and style of the clothing on the live model and make any necessary adjustments.

Fittings for Chanel: Behind the scenes

Oldy, but goldy! Here you can see design legend Karl Lagerfeld fitting for the Chanel haute couture show.

Why are precise measurements important?

It is very important for designers and customers that models have the exact measurements for the intended garments in the fashion collection. This makes the designers’ work easier and helps to ensure that the clothes fit and are presented perfectly. Models who have the intended fitting measurements are usually in high demand.

How long does a fitting take?

A quick fitting usually only takes 15 to 30 minutes, during which time all the garments are tried on. Fittings can also be a whole day’s booking, i.e. around 8 hours, depending on the designer, collection and number of garments.

If adjustments are still required, there is usually time until the next day to make them.
